What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €248/m², the €39,000 asking price is 40% below the Emilia-Romagna country-house baseline of €412/m². However, condition is unspecified and a 157 m² rural stone house likely needs substantial renovation, giving an estimated effective cost near €948/m²; the second building is only a deposit.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric stone village home with exposed beams, traditional floors, an antique fireplace and richly characterful interiors. Its elevated garden offers sweeping views across the Val Nure hills, while the furnished main rooms suggest a genuinely usable home rather than an empty shell, although parts of the property clearly need upkeep.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€31,000 – €55,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Some exterior stonework, terraces and retaining walls look weathered and may need maintenance.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 157 sqm, six-bedroom property.
- The second building appears to be storage rather than finished living space; utilities and full condition should be verified.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is in the Val Nure, with the Ligurian Apennines rising south of Bettola and wooded ridges closing the valley. The Nure river runs through the area. Within this part of the valley the landscape is a mix of river terraces, farmed slopes and forested hills, with higher Apennine ground beginning a short drive upstream. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail links and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for hill agriculture and for access to the Piacentine Apennine valleys rather than for a single protected site or landmark inside the immediate radius.
